"it is good."
Eric nodded.
"Alright, I'm going to the imperial mausoleum now."
"Leon said."
"Going so early? The ceremony doesn't start for another two hours."
Erico didn't move aside; her gaze toward Leon suddenly took on a hint of aggression.
"It would be better to bring this up. I have some things to discuss with my ministers. Besides, the secrets of the imperial tombs must not be discovered by outsiders."
Leon explained.
"I see—then let's make it a bit more intense and finish this quickly."
Eric smiled seductively and pushed Leon to sit on the desk.
This……
Whether it's because dragons and humans have different bodies or what, ever since that time inside the sealed artifact, Leon feels that Eric is always unsatisfied. These days, Eric torments him every day for half a day, making his back a little sore.
"We've reached the decisive moment with Naden, Eric, stop fooling around. I have more important things to do right now."
Leon said seriously.
"I'm going to make a scene anyway!"
Eric challenged, "You're not convinced? If you're not convinced, you can tie me up! Just like last time at sea."
"..."
Leon understood.
He grabbed Eric's arm, twisted it sharply, and immediately slammed Eric onto the table.
Before long, Eric was tied up by Leon.
But what puzzled Leon was that when he was tying up Erik, she didn't resist fiercely. Instead, she seemed to be consciously cooperating with him in tying her up.
However, after Leon tied Eric up, he did nothing but straighten his dress collar in front of the mirror and was about to leave when Eric panicked and began to struggle violently. But Leon tied him up very tightly. Although the ordinary rope could not restrain Eric at all, Eric would not be able to break free for a while without using the brute force of a dragon.
"Leon, are you crazy! You've really tied me up like I'm going to die!"
Eric struggled.
"I told you, unless you're tied up."
"Leon replied."
"But I didn't tell you to tie me up and leave without doing anything!"
"Eric said resentfully."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
Leon was puzzled.
"Do……"
Eric buried his head shyly.
Is this Dragon Princess a masochist?
Leon immediately understood what was going on, and then he took off running.
"Leon! Get back here right now!"
Behind him, came Eric's angry shouts.
Chapter Thirty-Five: Their Own Plans (Part 1)
Guberlan.
Emperor's Mausoleum.
After a series of elaborate rituals, the coffin containing "Caesar's" body was finally placed in the mausoleum.
As he watched the tomb doors close once more, Leon finally let out a sigh of relief.
"I need to go to Maxi City. I'll leave the matter of Guberlan to you gentlemen."
Leon looked at the assembled ministers, led by the Third Duke, and smiled coolly.
"Your Majesty Leon, please go in peace."
"Duke Hibbate said seriously."
"The front lines are dangerous, Your Majesty, please take care."
Lev and Bazel stepped forward together.
"Ah."
Leon nodded slightly, then boarded the carriage that had come to pick him up, and soon left the cemetery area.
After watching Leon's carriage disappear into the distance, the courtiers dispersed.
Hibbert, Lev, and Bazel tacitly slowed their pace, and soon they had distanced themselves from the courtiers, leaving only the three of them.
"Hibbout, Lev, are you really impressed by Leon?"
Bazell got straight to the point.
"I don't know what tricks Leon used, but His Highness Leon was willing to submit to him."
Hibbert complained helplessly.
"You have no choice but to comply. Let's do as Leon says for now."
Lev replied.
"You two old geezers are really good at pretending. Fine, I don't want to beat around the bush anymore. I don't believe you didn't receive Naden's ultimatum."
Bazel shook his head and looked at Lev and Hibbert. After thinking for a long time, he said in a low voice.
So you received it?
Lev looked at Bazel and gave him a malicious smile.
"Alright, Lev, there's no need for us to make things difficult for each other now. Didn't you receive it?"
Hibbert began.
"Okay, I received it too."
Lev paused for a moment before speaking.
What was written in your letter?
"Bazel asked."
Does this need to be revealed?
Lev looked cautiously at Bazel.
"Why can't you tell me?"
"Bazaar said."
"Okay, then you go first."
Lev raised the tip of his nose.
"..."
Bazel remained silent.
He couldn't say that he, Hibbert, and Lev were mortal enemies. If he confessed and they didn't, one of them might go to Leon and tell on him, and he would be in big trouble.
Are you going to help Naden?
Hibbant avoided the contents of the ultimatum and went straight to asking about the two men's positions.
"I remain neutral and will not take sides."
Lev replied, "I won't interfere with whichever side you two take."
“Now that Naden has already reached Marsh City, Seth’s 100,000 cavalry, though the Empire’s most elite knightly legion, may not be able to stop the equally elite Zhenbei Army.”
Lev continued.
"so?"
Hibbert and Bazel both looked at Lev.
"So, whoever wins between Leon and Naden in the end, I'll immediately help them."
Lev laughed.
"Lev, we really are kindred spirits."
Bazel agreed with Lev's view.
"Tsk, a fence-sitter."
Hibbert rolled his eyes at Lev and Bazel with disdain.
"What, whose side are you going to take?"
Lev was puzzled.
Barzel also cast a questioning look at him.
"me too."
Hibbant smiled and said.
"Tsk."
Lev and Bazel both looked at each other with disdain.
The three dukes smiled without saying a word, each got into their own carriage, and soon left.
After dinner,
A carriage stopped at the entrance of Leon's palace, followed by a squad of Imperial Royal Knights responsible for escorting the carriage.
Eric had been waiting here for a long time.
This carriage was there to take her away from Guberland and to Marsh.
What surprised Eric was that Leon got off the carriage.
As Leon had previously stated, he would not return after Caesar entered the tomb, but would instead quietly leave Guberlan.
But the person who came down now, judging from his appearance, was indeed Leon.
"Let's go."
Leon smiled and stepped forward, extending his hand to Eric.
After hesitating for a moment, Eric grabbed the hand and linked arms with Leon's.
After the two boarded the carriage, it quickly headed out of the city.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Inside the carriage, Leon noticed that Eric was staring at him, so he leaned over and gave Eric a playful smile.
"What, Your Majesty is really domineering, not even allowing people to see it?"
Erico was pushed further and further to the side by Leon.
"Hehe, Eric, your unsatisfied look is really cute."
Leon chuckled lightly and then reached out and pinned Eric against the wall in the corner.
"What do you want to do?"
Eric tensed up warily.
"You're so cute, I want to tease you a little."
Leon didn't give Eric any time to react before reaching out and pinching the soft flesh in front of Eric's body.
